A brighter light is seen as the 2012 is approaching to the fore from the dark surrounding.The Abrahamic faiths all believe that there is only one God. That makes it easy. However, there are three Abrahamic faiths and many more branches and sub-branches of these three faiths. And each of these faiths, branches and sub-branches claims that it is the only true faith and that all the others are false. That makes it complicating.

P/S: Hard luck for the JPN because they have poked into an hornet nest! But what would be the situation if the mufti were just a plain Mr. in front of his name and without any position or in general, the person were just an ordinary citizen who has nothing to show and shout about, nothing till the little napoleons can easily bullying them around, what so, to be noted by the media. Even if the little citizen were to shout, no one would be bothered!
Perhaps this is another reason why everyone wants to climb up the ladder of power so that one would not be taken lightly, not to be bullied around, media will take note of their outburst etc.
Adohai...nasib orang kebanyakan yang tiada apa-apa... lagilah kalau papa kedana!
Pendidikan Moral atau Pendidikan Sivik & Kewarganegaraan yang dipelajari di sekolah tidak selari dengan apa mereka alami di luar sana.... Minda menjadi berserabut dan berasap, langsung melahirkan manusia yang memberontak!
Tidak dinafikan bahawa budaya pak turut ada kebaikannya tersendiri. Umpamanya apabila seseorang itu bekerja di sesebuah organisasi yang menginginkan kenaikan pangkat, sikap pak turut cukup penting.
Apa sahaja yang diminta oleh pihak atasan akan dijalankan dengan penuh dedikasi dan tanggungjawab. Malahan, segala arahan yang dikeluarkan walaupun hakikatnya mungkin bercanggah dengan prinsipnya, turut dianggap baik gara-gara hanya untuk memuaskan pihak atasan.
Motifnya mudah sahaja - semuanya berkisar kepada survival dalam dunia yang penuh kompetitif ini. Siapa yang akur dan patuh sudah pasti akan terus hidup. Sesungguhnya, mereka tidak bersalah dalam konteks ini. Malah boleh dikatakan pekerja-pekerja ini amat baik kerana patuh kepada arahan. Lebih penting lagi, ia adalah sejajar dengan budaya hormat-menghormati yang dijunjung tinggi oleh masyarakat setempat.
Namun begitu, apabila budaya pak turut diamalkan secara membuta-tuli dan tidak bertempat seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh segelintir pemimpin politik (tanpa mengira pembangkang atau kerajaan), maka seharusnya ia diperbetulkan.
Sebagai pemimpin yang mewakili suara rakyat, seseorang pemimpin politik itu haruslah berpijak pada bumi nyata dan memperjuangkan isu berlandaskan kepada prinsip dan kebenaran, bukannya kesetiaan yang membuta-tuli.
Sudah pasti, benda yang betul harus dikatakan betul dan bukan sebaliknya kerana kegagalan menuju ke arah itu merupakan satu ketidakadilan dan penghinaan kepada prinsip keadilan.

P/S: Ini macam cerita Hang Tuah dengan Hang Jebat. Dah lama tak dengar atau melihat filem cerita ini, malah TV pun tak mengulang cerita ini dalam retro filem-filem Tan Sri P. Ramlee. Nak jadi Hang Tuah atau nak jadi Hang Jebat? Kalau jadi Hang Tuah yang jujur, pak turut yang lurus bendul, akhirnya kena fitnah dan dihukum bunuh. Kalau jadi Hang Jebat, awal-awal lagi sudah kena bunuh oleh little napoleon! Kah..kah..kah..
SHAH ALAM: A former Selangor MB was found guilty today of abusing his influence to buy a luxury home and land at a discount of up to RM3 million. The judge sentenced the former MB to 12 months’ imprisonment and ordered the seizure of the property. Read more here.
P/S: Surely this is one of the reasons everyone wants to fight to get up to the top of the ladder. Beside to show off and to feel damn great of genius or having super IQ, it has the huge unseen privilege to abuse and be abusive. Those who hold power seem to be making themselves look strong with the ciput but making themselves look so small like Tom the Cat when dealing with those who they see more powerful than them, but then every moment selling God's name for cover up.
Many ridicule the Jews for their Zionism but what's the different when one is practicing or having the mindset of something like that or as small as postulated above.
More disgusting when it is said and done in the name of God. Perhaps, God is not color-blind but also sees colours, that's why He created so many colours... Then, one will proudly takes out the words of God... He created us in many colours for us to see and to appreciate the beauty of the various colours... rhetorically fantastic! But, due to greed, lust and power, all those God's words are nonsense! Merely as a privilege to disguise! But again, some who are in the same boat will buy it and be the diehard followers, humiliating fellow human being to satisfy their greed, lust and fantasy....
